天昏地暗 天崩地缺 惊天动地
Darkness falls, the sky shatters, a world turned upside down.
盛怒如火山口喷灰跃飞
Fury erupts like a volcano, spewing ash into the air.
我不清楚激情为甚致死
I'm not sure what passion causes one to perish.
只记起倘不贪生厌死便胜利
I only remember, if we’re not greedy for life or weary of death, we triumph.
天覆地载 天高地厚 始终没退后
The heavens cover the earth, tall and deep, we never look back.
像热岩浆伸展出一对手
Like hot magma stretching out a pair of hands.
已放出的疯狂是没法收
Once unleashed, madness cannot be contained.
任由热蒸气 继续弥漫在宇宙
Let the steam continue to spread through the cosmos.
人有能量 谁盛怒就是活火山扩张
Humans have energy, and those who are furious are like expanding volcanoes.
流出岩浆 无限量热度像置身在太阳
Lava flows out, infinite heat like being in the sun.
天覆地载 天高地厚 始终没退后
The sky covers the earth, high and deep, never retreating.
像热岩浆伸展出一对手
Like molten lava stretching out a pair of hands.
已放出的疯狂是没法收
The madness now unleashed cannot be contained.
任由热蒸气 继续弥漫在宇宙
Let the steam continue to swirl through the universe.
人有能量 谁盛怒就是活火山扩张
Humans have energy; whoever erupts in anger becomes an expanding volcano.
流出岩浆 无限量热度像置身在太阳
Lava flows, infinite heat feels like being in the sun.
不管会灼伤
No matter the burns it may cause.
不需要世界的欣赏
No need for the world's admiration.
于火海里一个一个思想
In the sea of fire, one thought after another.
熊熊是幻象 令怒号更响
The blazing is an illusion that makes the roar even louder.
人有能量 谁盛怒就是活火山扩张
People have energy, whoever's enraged is a volcano about to explode.
流出岩浆 无限量热度令我不断
Lava flows, an endless heat that keeps me moving.
发放燃亮 谁盛怒就是活火山扩张
Radiating brilliance, whoever's enraged is a volcano about to explode.
和你一样 无限量热度像置身在太阳
Like you, an endless heat feels like standing in the sun.
